CHENNAI: The Tiruvallur district police have arrested a 43-year-old foreign national, identified as Bende, a native of Senegal, who allegedly headed a major inter-state synthetic drug cartel. He was arrested from an apartment in Delhi after 10 days of surveillance and brought to Tiruvallur on a transit warrant on Thursday. Multiple mobile phones containing data on drug networks in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and the North East were seized from him. The investigation began on October 14 after the Manavalanagar police in Tiruvallur district caught two men with 55 grams of methamphetamine. Further leads led to the arrest of Chennai-based dance studio owner and Instagram influencer Sibiraj (22) on October 23 with 54 grams of meth. Investigations revealed that the cartel, run by Bende, operated via internet apps and bank accounts spread across West Bengal, Nagaland, and Mizoram. GPS locations were shared with buyers for pick-up. Ten more people, including two foreign nationals from Nigeria and DR Congo, were arrested in connection with the racket. The police said the gang used duplicate identities and front businesses to conceal their operations. Further investigation is underway.
Trial courts must not accept challenge to LoCs, says Karnataka HC
BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court directed that the trial courts should not entertain any challenge concerning Lookout circulars (LoCs), nor direct the police stations to remove LoCs, and any such action of concerned courts would be viewed seriously, as they are acts beyond the jurisdiction of trial courts. Justice M Nagaprasanna passed the order while disposing of the petition filed by a 41-year-old man seeking directions to the city police to recall the LoC issued in connection with a crime registered over domestic violence and dowry harassment. The court issued this direction after taking note of the arguments of the counsel for the petitioner that day in and day out, the trial courts are entertaining the applications challenging the LoCs. In this case, Sarah Sunny, a hearing-impaired lawyer, had sought permission from the court to represent the wife of the petitioner through the assistance of an official Sign Language Interpreter, to ensure that her submissions could be made with clarity and effect. Referring to this, the court stated that Sarah Sunny defied every decibel of doubt, delivered her arguments with composure and eloquence, which resonated with the same conviction of any seasoned advocate. The court also records with profound admiration its appreciation for Sarah Sunny, who transcended the boundaries of silence. Her endeavour should remain an enduring inspiration, a luminous reminder that justice in its truest form, not only listens through the ear, but through the heart, the court observed. The court said hearing-impaired advocates constitute a rare minority. The constitutional courts have a duty to empower such advocates to help them break the sound barrier that stands between them and their full participation in the judicial process. It is therefore, this court deeming it fit and just to permit Sarah Sunny to avail herself of the interpretive assistance of Dr Renuka V N, a Sign Language Interpreter, in order to present her case effectively.
